It depends on what you mean by allowed.
Previously the "name" was defined as allowing anything however setuptools
"normalizes" non ascii numeric characters to "-".
There is an unaccepted PEP[1] which says names are constrained to:
* ASCII letters ( [a-zA-Z] )
* ASCII digits ( [0-9] )
* underscores ( _ )
* hyphens ( - )
* periods ( . )
Now in PyPI previously names were allowed to be anything that didn't contain
"/", however we've since changed that to match the constraints in the PEP.
